Guys - KISS! During the time we already spent in this thread, we 
could have written least five great blog entries!

Therefore +1 for static site generators - they keep stuff simple.
The advantage of Jekyll is that it works so nice with Github 
pages and everyone can thus preview the changes on their local 
gh-pages branch. Getting the Dlang theme is not difficult, see 
e.g. my proposal for to put the DIPs into a github repo:

https://github.com/wilzbach/d-dip
http://wilzbach.github.io/d-dip/DIP86

The DIP Jekyll site builds in ~five seconds (90 pages).
That being said, I like Hugo too.

Btw if we just keep using DDOC (a static site generator), all the 
custom macros will continue to work ;-)
